Flash Friday 55: Pre-Op

Whoa! I feel GOOOOOOOD!
Mom! I’m seeing in 3-D!
Mom! There are 2 Bugs Bunnies!
Mom! Why do you have 2 cameras?
Mom! There are 2 Daffy Ducks!
Mom! The TV is blowing up!
Mom! Look! I have 7 fingers.
Mom! Now I have 9 fingers.
One…two…three…four…five…six…seven…
No…make that 7 fingers.
Mom! I love you!

Munchie had a minor surgical procedure yesterday. These were the words that came from his mouth when they gave him some oral sedation. He was too cute and I am pleased to say that everything went well. I will be working the next 3 days so will not have a chance to visit other participants in Flash Friday over at G-Man's place. Have a great weekend!

Microfiction Muse #5: The Language of War




“Geronimo…EKIA”
What’s that Mr. President?
It means Enemy Killed In Action
Yes sir, that IS official Navy Seal lingo
No kidding sir
“Pinky swear”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Micro-fiction Muse involves writing a very short story (140 characters max-including spaces) based on a photo prompt. I make it my goal to always use 140 characters exactly. Diane Estrella is our host. Please be sure to visit her blog for complete rules of the meme.

Tuesday's Tidbits: May 3, 2011

I'm suffering from writer's block this week. I believe much of it has to do with all the "busy"ness of late. There are so many end of school year activities, concerts, swim meets/clinics, etc. this time of year. Then there's that little thing about a 20th wedding anniversary at month's end. Mr. Sister and I are actually considering celebrating by going (gulp!) skydiving! Also, the newly planted vegetable garden needs daily tending. Additionally, we are also gearing up for a family vacation to NYC in early June. Then later, that same month, I am planning a visit to see  my family and friends with a flight to Kansas. Oh, and as an added bonus, Munchie Boy will be undergoing an Esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (EGD for short) later this week (to determine causes and effects of his chronic reflux). So all in all, my writing has had to be put on the back burner for awhile. I will try to jump in when I can so please bear with me until I am able to get back on a regular blogging schedule.

So instead of the usual post I will share a few recent photographs with you.


This is my lovely Daisy. Daisy is plumb worn out. You see, Daisy loves to chase balls, her "Kong", birds, squirrels, cats, neighbor kids, etc. Mr. Sister decided to see if she would ever get enough of playing fetch. It took some time, patience, and perseverance.  I offer you photographic proof that Daisy, indeed, got enough! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sneak Peak:  I've ordered new glasses. Very different and very bold from my usual selection. Look closely at this 1st photograph. See the fun details? Note that the lenses that don't quite extend to the edges of the frame; the frames have a distinctive interior color; and the detail on the ear piece is really an interesting touch.


In the following photograph the temple detail is more obvious.


What do they look like on? Well, I'll let you have a small look-see:



(these are going to be so FUN!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Does anyone else do this? 


You see, I am a very "visual" person. Due in large part to some recent personal changes, my sense of style is changing as well. I am becoming more bold when it comes to putting outfits together. However, before I try anything on, I lay them out to see if I can coordinate just the look I'm going for. 

The pink top you ask? One of my best Goodwill finds EVER: a Chico top, complete with tags, for $3. I also snatched up another one in purple as well (no tag but like new!) 


Oh, and I'm having fun with jewelry choices too!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Can't get over the size Munchie's feet are beginning to be!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Life: Better with ice cream, don't you think?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not much else to blog about today. 
It is now time to get back to the business of the day. 
Thank you all for dropping by.

Sunday 160: Dream #5-The Journey Begins

Hopping aboard 
slow moving train 
journeying into past 
1st stop: Highland House 
dropping off dirty laundry 
picking up key 
opening door 
to future 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My contribution to this week's Sunday 160 for the Monkey Man, loosely based on a dream of mine. What can you say in exactly 160 characters?
